~Body Shots Sparring Course~
Saturday 11th October – 1:15pm
(Free)
To help those taking part in the special sparring competition at the end of the month, we are putting on a special 45 minute session dedicated to body shots. This session is open to all members of the school, and is an excellent place to start if you’re not confident with your sparring. If you have any questions regarding the upcoming competition, or if you would like to get involved with future competitions, please don’t hesitate to speak to Mrs Platt.

Please note: All students must register for testing. The dates above are grading dates only. Once you have tested, the other grading dates are unavailable to train on. If you would like to train before the grading, Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th are available for regular training sessions.

We apologise for any inconvenience, and we ask that you speak to an instructor if you are unable to attend this new date. Be sure to register at reception as soon as possible, and as always, Body Equipment is required to grade, and everyone must be wearing a full suit—NO T-SHIRTS!

~Sparring Course~
Saturday 25th October – 1:15pm
(£10)
Despite the Body Shots Sparring Course at the beginning of the month, Mr Platt is still, as always, running his sparring course sessions. Sparring is an important part of training, and is necessary for gradings, but when put everything else we work in class, we don’t often spend enough time on the subject. That’s what makes these sparring courses so useful and important, and they’re an excellent way to practice more unconventional or unique sparring tactics. If you’re not already involved, you’re missing out on so much. Register at reception today!

~Halloween Party~
Friday 31st October – 5:30pm – 6:30pm
(£6)
October is upon us, so you know what that means? It’s time to put on your witch’s cap, wrap yourselves in bandages, put in your fake fangs, and slip on your werewolf gloves, because it’s Halloween! To celebrate, we’re hosting a special party, right on Halloween night, at a hopefully trick-or-treat convenient time. Fun and games for all Ninja and Junior members. Register at reception now!

~Little Ninja Grading~
Saturday 1st November
The Little Ninja grading is scheduled in for November 1st, and as always we encourage all those taking part to register as soon as possible. Furthermore, if you are behind on your training, if you’re missing stripes, or if the grading date and time are inconvenient, speak to an instructor and we’ll see what we can do.
